A FRUITLESS STRIKE.
The New York Plumbers Spend 800. 900
without Accomplishing Their End.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-The general
strike of the plumbers of this city for an
enforcement of an apprenticeship system
in the trade has at last been declared off.
The struggle was begun September /,
1886, and has proved one of the hardest
fought and most expensive strikes in the
history of labor movements in this city.
AS the battle progressed, the journeymen
were more or less successful and at
one time they were on the point of
achieving a complete victory. At this
juncture number of large bosses came
together and, although seriously ham
pered at the time by the j)urneymen, they
maintained an unbroken front. The Jour
neymen claim that most of their members
are now working under union rules. 4
guerillas warfare was kept up against
these emp.Oyes, who are still determined
to resist the demands. During the strike
the journeymen paid out over 100000 in
strike benefits.
